MOUNT CARMEL CEMETERY

YSLETA, TEXAS

Located on Farm Road 258, Ysleta, Texas, just east of El Paso. This cemetery is behind the Old Ysleta Mission which was established in 1681 by the Franciscan Fathers, and is the oldest building in the State of Texas. This Mission and the cemetery are still in use today. This is just a small sampling of inscriptions from this cemetery which I copied in 1965. Do Not use this material for monetary profit or gain.
